Photography Question

photo in the wrong category


I accidently put a a photo into the wrong category and didn't catch it until now, do I delete from the contest and upload it again? How do I fix this or can I?

  I've read here that you can move it... first, write down the Photo ID of that photo (from your Member Center.) If you wait until the next day, and before you enter an actual new photo that day, go thru the steps to enter one, but instead of specifying a file, use the Photo ID box that will be on the right edge of the screen (where you normally specify a file on your C: drive.) Input the Photo ID in question, then choose the correct category, and you will "reclass" your image. Not sure if that counts as that day's 1 entry or not, however... Kerby may see this and chime in; I know she's done it before.

  The following steps are from another discussion I particiapted before. Ref toward the bottom of the thread, http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/QnAdetail.php?threadID=21975.

Kerby (and Kristi),
As you said, timing is important.
I use the following steps to change the category of a photo that has been already entered in the contest:

- wait for the next day or any time thereafter
- and before entering a photo into the contest for that day
- login into your member center
- go to "Your Photos" and locate the photo you wish to change the category
- click on "Enter into contest"
- it will open the photo and you will see the category box under it
- select the category you wish to change to
- click Submit
~~~
This will still allow you to enter a photo into the contest for that day.

  Chris, no that does not count as the day's entry when you change category.
